Message from the President
Welcome to California State University Stanislaus, one of the best 366 colleges in the United States according to The Princeton Review. Located in the heart of California’s rapidly growing Central Valley, CSU Stanislaus sits on a beautiful and inviting 228-acre campus.
I encourage you to take some time exploring our website. It is filled with information about the many programs we offer to our diverse student body of nearly 9,000 students. From academics to athletics and student activities to advising, CSU Stanislaus provides access to a top-quality higher education experience.
In particular, CSU Stanislaus is known for providing focused attention on individual students through small class sizes, one-on-one mentoring relationships with faculty, and effective student support services, all characteristics more typical of private institutions.
The American Association of State Colleges & Universities selected CSU Stanislaus as one of 12 universities nationwide for outstanding student retention and graduation rates. The University’s administrators, faculty, and staff work hard to help each student meet his or her academic goals and earn a college degree.
So, again, welcome to California State University Stanislaus. I am confident that you will be impressed by what you discover about our nationally-recognized university. We look forward to having you join us in our mission to engage every member of our campus in expanding their intellectual, creative, and social horizons in a diverse community committed to nourishing a thirst for lifelong learning.
Proud to be a Cal State Stanislaus Warrior,
Dr. Hamid Shirvani
President
